Pushing Ciel ahead through the woods is about an hour.
âUh, Ivyâ
âYes.â
Mr. Druid behind, not beside, because heâs walking down a roadless road.
Itâs a crawling place, so Iâm going to have to be careful.
Return a reply a little louder, paying attention underfoot.
âWhere are you headed?
âI donât know?
â⌠well. Oh, is this always how you do it?
Like this?
I wonder what that means.
âEh, it makes senseâ
âOh, I mean. Even when you were alone, you were taking this path ahead of Ciel?
âRight.â
I was still walking this morning towards the village of Hatau on a relatively walkable spot near the village road.
but on the way Ciel changed direction and went to the back of the woods.
As far as Iâm concerned, thereâs no question about it. Was there a problem?
⌠Oh well.
Does Mr. Druid not know what lies ahead because this is his first trip with Ciel?
You should have explained it properly.
Failed.
âUm, Mr. Druid. When Ciel goes to the back of the woods, thereâs something ahead.â
âReally?
âYes, there are medicinal fruits or rare herbs. So you should go with Ciel.â
âRight. But it would be dangerous to go to the back of the woods in such small numbers, wouldnât it?
Dangerous?
Iâve never had a problem with it before.
âMm-hmm. Iâve never been attacked by demons or animals. Ciel will tell you about dangerous cliffs.â
âIt is.â
âYes.â
âNya-yay.â
You were listening to the conversation, Ciel sounds good.
âWell, are you okayâ
Mr. Druid, too, seems to have believed in Ciel.
Good.
âYouâre always excited about whatâs out there.â\n
âHahaha, Iâm thrilledâ
âThrilled?â
âYes, because even though Ciel is here, heâs coming to the back of the woods in such a defenseless stateâ
thrilledâŚâŚ scared?
Anxiety?
âItâs okay, right?
âhahahahaâ
After Ciel, questioning Mr. Druidâs words.
Then after a short walk, I see a big giant tree.
Blue fruit that becomes that tree.
âOh, this is the blue fruit of the forest that Mr. Gilmouth recommendedâ
âSounds like it. You donât know his name?
âI couldnât remember for a long time.â Totracella seraâŚâŚ ââ
âYou remember.â
âNo, itâs still going on after this.â
âReally?
âYes. They say that some towns and villages may also work in âTotoâ and âTotoseraâ, but they are different. Blue fruit in the woods, the shop people told me they knew it was everywhere.â
Totracella Serratra, what is it?
I tried to remember a few times, but my mouth is about to snap. Itâs a calling, isnât it?
âNya-yay.â
Sitting properly at the root of the tree, Ciel.
It still seems to have taken me to this fruit place.
âThank you, Ciel. Good luck harvesting it.â
Bag out and harvest the blue fruit.
Mr. Druid helped me out, too, so it was quick to fill my bag.
âThatâs an amazing amount.â
âI hear from Mr. Gilmouth that this fruit is recommended because the price does not fluctuate, so a little moreâ
âI see.â
Trying to hold the bag takes the bag gently from the side.
âMr. Druid?
Iâll take care of this.
Is that okay?
Hmm, I think Iâll ask for the blue fruit because Iâll be harvesting something else.
âOkay, please. Next thing I know, Iâll take what I can.â
âHahaha, nice to meet youâ
Take a short break once you have harvested the blue fruit.
Where I am now is a little chilly because there are many trees and it will be a shadow. \nUntil a while ago, I thought it was cool.
âBut this fruit is behind these woods.â
âRight. These blue and yellow fruits are in the back of the woods.â
âThe yellow fruit is definitely the one with the name âHakutokuâ?
âYes, I love it.â
âYouâve never eaten.â
âItâs so sweet and delicious.â
â⌠you can sell that for a good price too, right?
âCome on, I ate out the last time,â
â⌠well. It was almost the same price as the blue fruit, for sure.â
Mr. Druid is whispering something but I canât hear him.
âWhatâs wrong with you?
âNo.â
What is it, a bit of a facial pull?
Are you tired?
âAre you all right?
âIâm fine. Well, time to go.â
Ciel immediately takes the lead in Mr. Druidâs words.
âUh, you should follow me, right?
âYes, I donât know where this place is.â
When I follow Ciel, I have no idea the direction.
So itâs all a Ciel favor.
In the beginning, I tried to make sure it was just in the right direction, but I couldnât.
âRight. Nice to meet you, Ciel.â
âNya-yay.â
Looking up at the sky from among the trees.
Recently, it is slowly getting darker and quicker.
For this minute, I wonder if itâs possible to go back near the village road.
âŚâŚâŚâŚ
Look around.
It still started to get dark.
âCiel, itâs time to find a bunkâ
âNya-yay.â
âPuffy ~â
âTeri ~â
Whoa, did Flem happen?
\nâNya-yay.â
âWhatâs wrong, Ciel? You got something?
âNya-yay.â
âMr. Druid, I think Ciel found something, so Iâm going. You seem tired, so rest here.â
âEh, Iâm fine, thoughâ
âItâs not okay. Itâs a little strange from now on.â
âNo, because that was an even more amazing journey than I thoughtâŚâ
